Wind energy is the first thing that comes to our mind when we talk about ways of generating new, renewable clean power. Large wind farms, using HAWTs of the type shown in Picture 1. are becoming an increasingly important source of electricity production with major horizontal axis units producing substantial quantities during peak demand periods and throughout areas where they can be grouped.citations used In recent years large H.A.W.T.s (Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines) have become very popular to generate electricy in a more cost-effective manner at Sites for heavy applications such as numerous multiple megawatt Earth power loads are located close by built up locations or rocky ridgelines way above rivers & lakes Sea ports). These turbines are comprised of a rotor and blades that rotate about an axis parallel to the ground. These are built to gather winds from a particular direction, and thus they perform really well in those places where there is enough wind. There are many advantages HAWTs have over their counterpart, vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) the most prominent of which is there ability to produce more power and longevity.
HAWTs are more powerful and can produce electricity even at low wind speeds of 4-5 meters per second. In contrast, VAWTs require stronger winds to reach their maximum operating speed, and are therefore not ideal for locations with lower or erratic wind speeds. Furthermore, since the blades are positioned vertically together they have less aerodynamics noise than VAWTs do- this makes HAWT a better choice for residential areas troubled with general means of audible detraction. Also, HAWTs installation and maintenance compared to VAWT are less complicated based on the clearness of their design.
Climate change is not waiting to knock at our door, so the need for sustainable energy solutions became more pertinent than ever. HAWTs are now being hailed as an essential component for shifting towards renewable energy. This will no doubt be partly due to the continuing improvements in technology which have led to HAWTs becoming increasingly more efficient but it also reflect s changes that are happening all across our world as various systems, including energy generation sectors evolve. Indeed, China is just one out of many countries which has undertook ambitious plans to switch completely or for the most part towards renewable energy sources and HAWTs are expected to play a significant role in reaching those goals around the world such as in Europe and United States. In addition, advances in battery technology now mean that wind-generated electricity can be stored making HAWTs an even more attractive proposition.
Contd : Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) in regions where wind direction is dynamic Instead of the blades rotating around a horizontal axis, like with HAWTs (which require optimal wind direction to work properly), The tip speed ratio on VAWT machines allows efficiency from any wind angle. VAWTs are also suitable in situations that have constant wind speed and the average Type III windspeed is 5.7 metres per second (20 kilometres per hour, [6] which means a capacity of no more than 138 megawatts million watts, unless scaling factors prove to be profitable). But even then VAWTs are not without their own shortcomings which include lesser efficiency leading to lower electricity generation, necessity of greater wind speed for efficient operation and increased noise levels.
The choice of whether to use HAWTs or VAWTs in residential applications can be a difficult one. Before making a choice, there are several factors such as the location of the home (wind speeds), noise considerations and energy output requirements that needs to be taken into account. HAWTs are the usual choice for areas with high wind speeds, since they can produce more electricity and have higher average lifetimes. Furthermore, because HAWTs are relatively simple to install and maintain they make an ideal solution for home use. For homes in windy areas or located near cities, where wind is unpredictable and gusts can come from different directions at once a VAWT might be more appropriate. But THIS trade comes with a specific list of pros and cons to consider- less energy production, potential noise.
In summary, characteristics of HAWTs and VAWTs are as shown. Unlike VAWTs; HAWTS are more efficent, eco-friendly noiseless and easier to maintain CDN. Overall, they need a certain wind direction and do best with high winds impacting their location. In contrast, VAWTs can catch the wind from any direction and are thus able to handle locations with varying wind directions. Despite this, VAWTs are inefficient and produce a lot less power while being somewhat loud. Whether choosing a HAWT or VAWT, these details are location based in terms of wind speed and sound levels that oscillate with energy generation.
To summarize, wind power will be the backbone for a successful renewable energy change. HAWTs on the one hand and VAWTS, offer very different benefits and flaws so whether they are better or worse really depends among other things. If nothing else, with the way technology is moving we have every reason to believe wind power can become a very important piece of our clean and renewable energy puzzle in years to come.
